(July 23, 2014, Hackensack, NJ) — Kaufman Dolowich & Voluck LLP (KDV), a leading national law firm, today announced that Iram P. Valentin has rejoined the firm as a partner in its Hackensack, NJ office.

Valentin’s practice focuses on professional liability defense, financial services litigation and complex civil litigation. He routinely represents professionals in the legal, insurance, real estate and financial services industries. In addition, he has successfully litigated environmental, fiduciary duty and commercial litigation matters. Valentin rejoins Kaufman Dolowich & Voluck from The Gonzo Law Group, where he was a shareholder in the firm’s Hackensack, NJ office.

“I am pleased to be returning to KDV; I believe its platform provides me with the best opportunity to take my practice to the next level,” said Mr. Valentin. “The firm is clearly on a growth trajectory. I’m looking forward to rejoining former colleagues and working with the new attorneys at the firm.”

Valentin earned his B.A. from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts and his J.D. from Fordham University School of Law in New York City. He is admitted to practice in the State and Federal courts of New Jersey, the Third Circuit and United States Supreme Court. Valentin also serves on the New Jersey Supreme Court’s Civil Practice Rules Committee and is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney. He is on the Board of Trustees for the Visiting Homemaker Home Health Aide Service of Bergen County.

“We are thrilled that Iram is rejoining the firm,” said Christopher Nucifora, co-managing partner of the New Jersey office. “This office has been experiencing significant growth in recent years including our professional liability practice and Iram’s return will be a great asset to our clients. Iram’s status as a certified trial attorney, a designation awarded by the New Jersey Supreme Court to fewer than three percent of the state’s attorneys, appropriately speaks to the level of talent he possesses and the quality of work that he performs.”
